Behind the Design: Customizing a Family Heirloom

Every heirloom tells a story. For this project, a mother’s cherished piece became the starting point for a new design — one that carries memory while creating something contemporary and personal.

The Starting Point

This piece was passed down through generations, carrying both history and sentiment. The challenge was to respect its character while transforming it into something new.

Sketches & Design Exploration

We sketched multiple options: one that preserved the original form, and others that reimagined the stone in new settings. Each sketch balanced past and present.
